Hi, I am a beginner in Perl. I am trying to use format function for my program. It was printing correctly, but after I added the "use strict;", this is the code.
sub PRINT{ my $k, my $z, my $x, my $c; format head= user | processes | cpu-seconds | memory (k) --------+-----------+---------------+------------ . format result= @<<<<<<<|@>>>>>>>> |@>>>>>>>>>>>> |@>>>>>>>>>>> $k, $z, $x, $c . $- = "result"; foreach $k(@keys){ $z = $sum2->{$k}->{'process'}; $x = $sum2->{$k}->{'time'}; $c = $sum2->{$k}->{'mem'}; #$- = "result"; write(); } }#end of sub PRINT
and I am getting an error like this.
Undefined format "STDOUT" called at pigs line 64.
can somebody help me?
